Patriotic Strawberries

I am a proud American citizen. I abide by the laws, appreciate my freedom, and this year, to show my patriotism, I have gone above and beyond the expectation of my people...

I dipped strawberries in Almond Bark! 

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light!

PATRIOTIC STRAWBERRIES RECIPE

WHAT YOU NEED:

• Almond Bark
• Vegetable Shortening-optional
• Strawberries
• Blue Sugar

HOW TO MAKE IT:

1. Put the blue sugar in a small bowl.
2. Line a cookie sheet in foil.
3. Melt the Almond Bark, according to package directions. Mama's tip: for thinner Almond Bark, add about a Tablespoon to every half a package.
4. Holding on to the stem, dip the strawberries. Leave about 1/3 of the red visible.
5. Scrape the edge of the strawberry, so that you don't have any extra Almond Bark. 
6. Gently, dip the bottom third of the strawberry in blue sugar.
7. Set it on the cookie sheet to harden.
8. Be patriotic!
